Eleven services. One goal. You get a product in market faster than you expected, built cleaner than you have seen before, and supported longer than the invoice says.
Most projects use 2+ services. We scope them together.
Intelligent systems that earn their place in the product. Not bolted on for a pitch deck. Built to solve real problems your users actually have.
Most AI features are a wrapper around an API call with no thought given to reliability, cost, or user experience. They hallucinate, they are slow, and they break silently. Your users lose trust before the feature has a chance to prove itself. AI done badly is worse than no AI at all.
AI features designed around your actual use case. Not a demo that works in a slide deck and breaks in production.
Model selection, prompt engineering, and caching strategies that keep inference fast and your bill predictable.
Every AI feature is tested against edge cases, adversarial inputs, and real-world data before your users see it.
Drift detection, accuracy tracking, and usage analytics so you know when the model is helping and when it is not.
End-to-end inference system, deployed and monitored in your environment.
Accuracy benchmarks, latency metrics, and cost projections documented.
API contracts and usage guides your team can build on top of.
Model tuning, edge case fixes, and performance optimisation covered.
Tell us the problem you want intelligence applied to. We will tell you if AI is the right answer and how to build it properly.
Frontends that feel instant. Backends that stay calm under traffic. Full-stack web builds designed for performance, scale, and the kind of polish users notice.
Web apps built without architecture age badly. They work at launch and slow down at scale. The frontend feels sluggish, the backend chokes under load, and every new feature takes twice as long as the last one. A web build that was not designed for growth becomes your most expensive technical debt.
Auth, permissions, data validation, and OWASP basics are part of the build. Not a review note at the end.
We simulate real traffic before your users create it. You know the limits before they become problems.
Every endpoint documented. Your frontend team, future hires, and integrations all work from the same clear source.
Containerised, deployable, and infra-agnostic. AWS, Azure, or whatever comes next. No vendor lock-in.
Live environment with staging, logging, and monitoring.
Swagger or equivalent. Every route, every expected response.
Documented limits and performance benchmarks.
What we checked, what we found, and what we fixed.
Tell us what your system needs to handle. We will scope it honestly.
Apps that feel light to the user and run heavy under the hood. Cross-platform without the cross-platform compromise.
Most mobile builds feel like web pages dressed up. Slow load times, janky transitions, and a codebase that needs rebuilding when you want a new feature. Your users notice. Your retention numbers show it.
Flutter and React Native done properly. Not ported from a website. Optimised for the device from day one.
iOS and Android from a single codebase. Half the maintenance, full coverage. No feature gaps between platforms.
Tested on actual hardware across screen sizes and OS versions before anything goes near your users.
State management and API design built to handle 10 users and 100,000. No rewrites when traction hits.
iOS and Android packages, App Store ready.
Full device matrix test results. Nothing untested ships.
Your next developer can inherit this cleanly.
Bugs, edge cases, and store submission issues covered.
Tell us what you want to ship. We will tell you what it takes and how long it takes honestly.
Four weeks from idea to live product. Scoped to prove the point. Built to grow past it. Investor-friendly from the very first commit.
MVPs built to be perfect before launch never launch. Scope creep kills momentum. Three months becomes six. Your window closes while you are still in Figma. The right MVP is the smallest version that proves you are onto something real.
Define the minimum that proves the point. Sprint planning, tech decisions, design system.
Primary user flows built, tested, and deployed to staging. You see working software, not wireframes.
Payments, auth, third-party APIs wired up. Edge cases handled. Performance tuned.
App store submissions, monitoring, analytics, documentation. Handed over production-ready.
We push back on anything that does not prove the core idea. Smaller scope is not a shortcut, it is a strategy.
You know who is using it, how, and where they stop. Real data from day one so iteration is informed not guessed.
Architecture that does not need rebuilding at 10x users. The MVP is lean, not fragile.
Clean code, documented decisions, and a product that reflects well when investors or acquirers look under the hood.
Not a staging environment. Not a demo. A live URL your users can visit.
User tracking, event logging, and a dashboard you can actually read.
Everything you own, properly documented, properly yours.
We stay reachable. Bugs and questions answered without a new contract.
Bring the idea and the goal. We will bring the plan and the timeline.
Design that is tested before it is built. Research-led, conversion-aware, and built to make your developers' lives easier, not harder.
Design without research is decoration. Pretty screens that nobody tested. Handoffs that leave developers guessing. Components that look different on every page. Your product feels inconsistent, your users feel lost, and your team wastes weeks rebuilding what should have been right the first time.
User interviews, competitor analysis, and journey mapping before a single screen is designed. Decisions backed by evidence, not taste.
Reusable components, consistent spacing, colour tokens, and typography rules. Your product looks cohesive and your developers move faster.
Interactive prototypes tested with actual users before development begins. You fix problems in Figma, not in code.
Annotated designs, interaction specs, and responsive breakpoints. Your engineering team inherits clarity, not ambiguity.
Every screen, every state, every breakpoint. Organised and annotated.
Reusable design system components your developers can map directly to code.
Findings from usability testing with real users. What worked, what did not.
Animations, transitions, and micro-interactions documented for development.
Tell us what you are building and where the design gaps are. We will show you what research-led design looks like.
Complex problems require tailored solutions. Full-scale platforms designed specifically for your unique operational requirements and business goals.
Off-the-shelf software rarely fits complex business models perfectly. Workarounds accumulate, efficiency drops, and eventually the system dictates how you work instead of the other way around. Custom software built poorly just creates a more expensive set of constraints.
Systems designed specifically for your data models and workflows. No forcing round pegs into square holes.
Connecting your new custom platform with the tools your team already uses, without breaking existing processes.
Custom builds mean custom threat models. Security is designed around your specific vulnerabilities and compliance needs.
When your business scales, your software scales. No artificial usage caps or sudden expensive enterprise tiers.
Fully deployed, custom-built application tailored to your specifications.
Architecture diagrams, API documentation, and database schemas.
Unit, integration, and end-to-end tests to ensure long-term stability.
Ongoing monitoring and stabilization during the critical launch phase.
Tell us about the problem off-the-shelf software can't solve. We will tell you if a custom build is the right answer.
Use this to find the closest starting point. Most projects overlap two or more services and that is fine, we scope accordingly.

We understand the idea, the goal, and what success looks like. Free. 30 minutes. No pitch.
A written plan covering what we will build, how long it takes, and what it costs. No surprises.
We build a small deliverable first. You see real work before you commit to the full scope.
Updates every week you can share with your investors. What is done, what is next, what is blocked.
We stay. Post-launch support and long-term partnership for the teams that want it.
Before you commit a budget to us, we invest time in real work. A small, defined deliverable. You review it and decide. Full refund if we are not the right match. No strings.
Founder at Seconddate
Foundry 5 really impressed me with their work on my AI-powered dating app. They nailed the UI/UX, starting with core app screens and then translating that vision to the web. The React site they built is sleek and polished - exactly what I was hoping for. What I appreciated most was their thoughtful approach and how easy they were to work with. They got the job done without needing me to micromanage.
CEO at StreaksAI
Foundry 5 surpassed all expectations in delivering our web development product swiftly and flawlessly. Their speed and eye for detail, especially under tight time constraints, showcase their commitment to excellence.
CEO, Xcelsior Capital
Working with Foundry 5 has been a great experience from start to finish. They seamlessly translated our vision into a website that not only showcases our brand and operations but also enhances our online presence as an investor in natural resources. Nothing was too much for them and they always put the client first.
CEO of Ove
Working with Foundry 5 to create the Ove app has been an absolute pleasure. Their professionalism, work ethic, and willingness to always go the extra mile has really impressed me. I would recommend them to anyone.
Loom Founder
Foundry 5 have gone above and beyond to bring my vision of Loom to life. Not only this, but they continue to be an integral part of our team. They are lovely people to work with, and I recommend them to anyone looking for a software partner. Particularly for non-technical tech founders (like me!) who need to ensure that their business is in safe hands.
Chief Product Officer Gather
The team has been instrumental in driving both the design and development of Gather, pairing a proactive, highly responsive workflow with the technical depth needed to handle our platform's complexity. Their partnership continues to move the product forward in a reliable and impactful way.
Anything else on your mind, just book a call. We would rather answer you directly than have you guess.
Yes, and most projects do. An MVP usually includes both a mobile app and a backend. A custom build might include AI, a backend, and a frontend. We scope the whole thing together so nothing gets siloed or duplicated.
We do not publish a minimum but we are not a freelancer rate shop. We work best with founders and teams who are serious about building something with a real budget and a real timeline. If you are unsure whether we are right, just book a call and we will be honest.
We can work fixed-price or on a flexible engagement depending on how well-scoped the project is at the start. We always give you a written scope with costs before any work begins. You know exactly what you are paying for before we start.
We scope tightly upfront specifically to protect against this. If requirements genuinely change, we have an honest conversation about what that means for timeline and cost. No surprise invoices, no resentment. Just a clear discussion.
Yes. Many clients move from a project engagement into an ongoing partnership for DevOps, new features, and architecture decisions. We find it works better for everyone when the same team builds and maintains rather than handing over to someone who was not there for the original decisions.
An MVP runs four weeks. A custom build depends on complexity and is always scoped before we start. Backend projects typically run four to eight weeks. We will always give you a timeline in writing before any work begins.
